About Groq
What is Groq?
Groq (founded in 2016) is focused exclusively on the inference phase of artificial intelligence — not model training — and has built a bespoke hardware-software stack centred on their Language Processing Unit (LPU). Their LPU is engineered for deterministic, high-throughput inference, enabling ultra-low latency and high energy efficiency. Groq’s product offerings include GroqCloud (a managed cloud platform) and GroqRack (on-prem/enterprise clusters) so that developers and organisations can deploy large language models, speech-to-text, image-to-text and other AI applications at scale. By optimising compute density, memory bandwidth and eliminating external switching infrastructure, Groq aims to reduce both cost and latency of inference workloads. Their architecture is positioned as an alternative to GPU-based inference, offering better performance and efficiency for real-time AI use cases.
How to use Groq?
To use Groq, you can access their platform through their website. You'll need to sign up for an account and obtain API keys. The platform documentation provides details on how to make requests and integrate the models into your applications.
